High Current PN Half Bridge
BTN8982TA
Block Description and Characteristics
compared to driving the MOSFET in linear mode. Therefore it is possible to use the current limitation for a short
time without exceeding the maximum allowed junction temperature (e.g. for limiting the inrush current during motor
start up). However, the regular use of the current limitation is allowed as long as the specified maximum junction
temperature is not exceeded. Exceeding this temperature can reduce the lifetime of the device.

Short Circuit Protection
The device provides embedded protection functions against
•
•
•
output short circuit to ground
output short circuit to supply voltage
short circuit of load
The short circuit protection is realized by the previously described current limitation in combination with the over-
temperature shut down of the device.
